Happy Summer 2018

Dear NLCS students,

You have had a busy and productive year and so deserve a wonderful Summer full of rest and good times.For those who have requested some optional work to do over the holidays, there are various resources and old past papers to be found on this page.

We hope you have a fabulous time and we look forward to seeing you in September!

Best wishes,

NLCS Maths Department.

Optional Summer 2018 Revision

Year 10 going into Year 11

Past IGCSE PapersNote that these are taken from the old specification, however you should be able to access most (if not all) of the questions. The point of doing these papers is to ensure that you have a firm grasp of the basics - remember that the actual IGCSE exam that you will be sitting will be particularly more challenging at the top end. Also, once you have marked these bring them to school to show your teachers after Summer!

Please note that there is no requirement to do any work over the summer!

Year 7 going into Year 8

Year 8 going into Year 9
